    Default H1B Transfer Petition Pending with RFE

    Hi again:

    I am still working with company A (has a valid H1B) and company B has filed a H1B tranfer petition however we got RFE. I am waiting for the TRANSFER approval before I give out notice to my current emplyer but I don't want to wait anymore since we have RFE. Who knows how long it is going to take. Therefore, I started interviewing with other companies. Company C made an offer to me recently. So my questions are as the following:

    1. Can company C file another H1B transfer petition for me while company B's petition is pending? Therefore, can I have two or multiple petitions filed at the same time without raising any problems for each other?
    2. If one got denied, is it going to affect the other petition like it will be denied automatically?
    3. This question is more for opinions. If I do have two peititons filed and at the end both are approved and I choose company C, does company B have any rights to sue me or any legal issues I might face? Does anyone have this situation before? Is this normal that people reject employers after they filed petition for you? Did the company you turn down usually ask you for the money they invested for you back?

    This is urgent so any opinions or answers help. I need to know if I have any legal obligations to either company. Please help and thank you.

    1. Yes.

    2. If you can tell us, in advance, the exact reason for the denial, we can suggest to you how it might affect the other application.

    3. Did you sign any contracts with Company B that would give them recourse against you?
